Academy’s Second Seat

A breeze blows in clear weather.

It would have been a pleasant breeze if the weather had been a little cooler, but it wasn’t like that because the weather was already hot.

In such hot weather, many students were training at the training center.

He swings his sword and wipes his sweat.

The indoor training room was muggy with the heat of the swordsmanship students.

Among the sweaty students, there was one that stood out.

The one who swings silver hair and dazzles the sword.

He held the rapier and swung his sword at high speed.

The movements were irregular, but there were no unnecessary movements.

It was just a swordsmanship that seemed to target only the vital points of people.

It didn’t look like an ordinary student’s swordsmanship.

“Wow… … Do I have to be at that level to be able to transfer to the academy?”

“It looks like you are dealing with some kind of moonlight.”

Her silver hair fluttered as she moved her body, as if the moonlight was fluttering.

Nearby students swung their swords and glanced at the student’s swordsmanship and exclaimed in admiration.

Of course, most did not think that it was the movement of a trained stinger.

I just thought he was an excellent prosecutor.

“ha… … .”

Yeniel, who was practicing her swordsmanship, put down her sword and went to wipe off the sweat when there were too many eyes around her.

‘I was thinking too much.’

Originally, I didn’t intend to attract attention like this.

I was trying to train normally, but as I started thinking a lot, my body moved as it went.

The reason why Yeniel had so many thoughts was because of Rudy Astria.

Rudy Astria is being re-evaluated at the Academy these days.

Not only did he defeat the outsiders who conspired on Homecoming Day, but he also stopped Serena from stealing the treasure.

That was shocking news for the academy.

If I asked who the strongest person in the first year was, it was Serena who took first place by far.

The Spirit Faculty was strong compared to other faculties of the same age thanks to the special characteristics of the Faculty.

So I decided that Serena, who was by far the first in the Spirit School, would be the strongest.

However, such Serina was stopped by Rudy Astria.

Seeing this situation, everyone began to reevaluate him.

Not only does he have good grades, but he also has good fighting skills.

In addition to that, he said that he also defeated the intruder, so he started a reevaluation of his personality.

– Actually, isn’t Rudy Astria kind?

– Come to think of it, you haven’t done anything particularly bad. They say that the Yangachi incident was also a misunderstanding.

-However… … Rumors from the family… … .

taken from readwn.com

Most people are starting to have a crush on Rudy Astria.

It wasn’t that there weren’t people who were reluctant because of the notoriety he had before, but the public opinion itself was definitely improving.

Seeing such a situation, Yeniel began to think more and more.

While serving as a rebel assassin, Yeniel received several educations.

We learned who our main enemies were and what nobles were doing.

When they told about Astria there, Rudy Astria’s name was mentioned.

Just an ignorant bastard.

A person who is nothing without the Astrian family.

It was just a handwritten note by the Astria family and discarded.

However, looking at the situation now, it was not at all.

Rudy Astria is now at the center of the academy.

At Forest School and on this Homecoming Day, Rudy Astria was at the center of it.

One time may be a coincidence, but not the second.

And after listening to the story, I heard that Rudy Astria also played a role in the library fire.

However, other than this Homecoming Day, Rudy Astria did not receive attention.

Everyone else took the ball.

The problem was that all the other people were friends with Rudy Astria.

Yeniel seemed to have realized something.

Could it be that Rudy Astria is actually a hidden powerhouse?

A darkness that hides itself without revealing itself to the outside.

Thinking about it that way, everything was right.

He turns his ball to the people around him and raises them.

And he hides in the shadows of those people and controls them.

without revealing yourself to the world.

When Jeniel was an assassin, there was a voice he heard from his Master.

– Yeniel… … . The true strong do not reveal themselves. Someone who controls people behind everyone’s back. that’s really strong

-yes? So what is an emperor or a duke? Are you weak?

-… … If so, I know. Where are you talking to?

At the time, I thought this old man was talking nonsense, but now that he’s here, he seems to know what he’s talking about.

Rudy Astria is trying to put into practice what Master said.

A being who moves the world without appearing in the world.

He seemed to want to be that kind of person.

Rie becomes emperor and Astina inherits the marquis.

These two then become the center of the emperor and the imperial faction.

And Rudy Astria is the opposite of the Astrian family.

Seeing that Ian Astria, who had not come on this Homecoming Day, came, it didn’t feel like I had a bad relationship with my brother.

So, the position that can handle both the Imperial and Noble factions, it is said that they are all influential beings.

Even without having to sit on any title… … .

“Scary guy… … .”

Was it part of this plan that you didn’t want to get noticed at the academy now?

Trying to hide… … .

Yeniel remembered the time when she was at the forest school.

Rudy’s eyes did not move at all despite the surprise attack.

And as if he had predicted a surprise attack, he overwhelmed himself at once.

Even thinking about it again makes me cringe.

How can you look at such a guy and call him a bastard or a discarded piece of the Astrian family?

This is a rumor that cannot be spread without someone’s intentions.

So the rumor is about Rudy Astria herself?

Yeniel frowned and trembled in fear.

“How the hell did you draw the big picture… … !”

However, even knowing this, there was nothing he could do.

He was already tied to Astina.

Even if he disobeyed Astina, the mana holding his heart would burst.

“In a way, should I be grateful for going under him?”

Yeniel was an assassin belonging to the rebels, but he did not have such grandiose intentions.

He was just doing it because there was nothing he could do.

So, even if Rudy Astria had a vicious plan, it didn’t matter as long as it didn’t harm her.

However, I was afraid that such a being existed in the same academy.

“I’ll have to tell Evan to be careful.”

Evan is not affiliated with Rudy Astria, but is the only person who knows about Yeniel’s circumstances.

There was originally a Serena, but she was dragged to the center.

So Evan was the only one Yeniel could open up to.

If Evan made a mistake with Rudy Astria and disappeared without even knowing the mouse or the bird, I thought it would be a little off-putting.

With that thought in mind, Yeniel wiped the sweat and put the sword in order.

And I moved to go to study for the final exam with Evan.

“uh? Did Lee already bring it?”

Luna took out the notes she had brought with her, and was surprised to hear that Li had already given it to her yesterday.

It was a handwriting that I got by asking my friends around.

However, when he heard that he had already brought it, the grass died.

“Oh, look closely, the writing is different. Thank you so much, Luna.”

“No, no! It’s only natural that we should do it as a friend.”

Luna chatted with Rudy for a while and then came out of the hospital room.

“I already gave you… … .”

Luna muttered to herself with the grass dead.

Luna had a lot of regrets for Rudy right now.

Of course, the research I’m doing these days is going well, and I’ve been showing Rudy some research, but I thought this was not enough.

It was Rudy’s fault that he was attending the academy like this, and the last time he fought Serena, he wasn’t of any help and Rudy was injured, so this bothered me.

If I had been stronger, I wouldn’t have had to bring people in… … .

Thinking like that, I had a strong desire to do something more for Rudy.

However, I couldn’t think of anything else to do.

“Ugh… … .”

It was time to go to the library with that gloomy look.

“Uh, student. Are you Rudy’s student friend?”

The nurse in charge of the inpatient room spoke to Luna.

When Rudy was lying down, the nurse knew about Luna because she was always by her side.

Luna said while crying and looking at the nurse.

“Can I call you Rudy’s friend? … .”

“… … yes?”

Luna clapped her hand in surprise at her words.

“ah… … no! What’s going on?”

“Oh, can you bring this to Rudy? It’s an inpatient bill, but tell me the academy has charged it in full.”

“Ah yes, thank you.”

“No, thank you.”

The nurse handed Luna the bill and walked away.

Luna looked at the bill and saw Rudy’s academic record written on it.

It wasn’t detailed, but it was the most basic information.

“uh… … ?”

One of them stood out.

Rudy’s birthday.

Rudy’s birthday was written on it.

And that birthday is the day of the final exam.

The day of the final exam was Rudy’s birthday.

“raw… … Work?”

Luna calculated the remaining days until the final exam.

“Then 10 days until the remaining day… … !”

Luna clenched her fists.

Luna’s enthusiasm began to burn.

“birthday present!”

The day the final exam ends.

Then he gives Rudy a present.

I wondered if Rudy would really like it if the exam was over and Rudy was relieved to receive a present.

“that… … But what will you give me?”

In fact, even if it was a gift, there was nothing to give.

I thought Rudy wouldn’t need anything if I bought something and gave it to him.

He was pouring all his money into research funds, so he didn’t have enough money, and Rudy had enough money to support him.

When it comes to gifts, the price is not important, but the heart is important.

So I needed something a little more unusual.

Then there was only one thing that came to mind.

“I made it myself… … ?”

If it’s a gift you made yourself… … It’s something that money can’t buy… … .

“wealth… … Are you going to be embarrassed?”

All sorts of delusions ran through Luna’s head.

From the way Rudy is happy to receive it, to the scene where the object she made is sloppy and tossed on the floor… … .

Rudy isn’t really going to throw things on the floor, but it’s still worrying.

Luna decided to fight her inner self like that.

“Let’s make it!”

I thought it would be okay to give as a gift with gratitude for the past.
